The Las Vegas Metro Police Department will have extra personnel on duty to handle road closures and to make sure visitors can celebrate safely. They have teamed up once again this year with the Nevada Department of Transportation and Nevada State Police to begin road closures around the “Resort Corridor” and Downtown late Saturday afternoon to prepare for the masses to celebrate on The Strip and Fremont Street Experience. Here is the information about road closures from an article written by Caroline Bleakley on 8NewsNow.com:
